Glove Story
There’s nothing scarier than getting lost and being alone. And that’s what happened to one pink glove that fell out of the pocket of a little girl who was on her way to pre-school. The artist Hanoch Piven helps the pink glove, and shows us that the plain old world around us is full of opportunities for creativity, if we only know how to look and to pay attention. So, the glove complies with the wishes of different animals: The duck wants her to be a cockscomb, so he can masquerade as a rooster, a buck with only one antler wants her to be his other one, and she even helps a cow to suckle her calf. But the glove still misses her twin and the little girl who lost her. Full of energy and confidence in her own abilities, she decides to set out on a journey to find them.
